Bruce Sterling's short story “Deep Eddy” makes the idea hilariously plausible.

He's trying to Reform the Restore of Reform to Restore.

Cats with opposable thumbs.

The older I get the more I think minds are like wines. Some age well, some don't.

And Blimp also had one of the best sword duel scenes ever.

That's exactly how I'd imagine a Tibetan fox would look!

Should make it clear here, the key phrase was "No, actually we're Australian.".

Once caught a teenage pickpocket trying to take me at the Chateau Rouge metro station. We fronted up to eachother then a CSR sweep came through and we went different ways after a brief high five.

One night, we accidentally ended up in Mexico City's hard core red light district. Tempted but lost and running late for a dinner engagement. A bunch of mucho macho studded and tatted male hustlers courteously escorted us to the subway station while discussing Kylie Minogue's career.

The Guns of Telemachus.

Like Iran, a tactical strike with no strategic thought.

Now imagining Odysseus chatting up the Governor's wife in Malta, his crew becoming swine in a bare walled Gibraltar bar and Penelope in Norfolk fending off smarmy real estate developers.

Dad did his late 1940s National Service in the RN and fondly remembered the Med as a stately cruise from bar to taverna to bar.
